Subject: Nation of Islam and UFO malarkey...
I read in one of new African-American periodicals (not Ebony-Upscale I
believe) an article titled 'Divided Nation'. It chronicaled the rift in
the African-American muslim community since the death of Elijah Muhammad.
Well, it gave the history of the Nation of Islam's theology. It genenrally
stated that the Nation of Islam believe that the foundation of the Muslim
and world history was full of UFOs and 'white devil' alien experiments. I
heard the rumor that Farrakan claimed he was abducted by a UFO and taken
to Elijah Muhammad. I thought it was the media exploiting the issue out of
context or something. However, upon reading this 'UFO stuff' in a Black
magazine, I could only wonder how anyone involved in the Nation of Islam,
or those who characterize its leaders and followers can disregard such
blatant SCIENCE FICTION.
